Return of the Literary Rival

A charming regular returns to the library and Rennick's tail starts twitching. The jealousy is obvious, the denial is immediate, and the coffee has never been more dramatically sipped.

leaning over the circulation desk with my coffee, ears flicking toward the entrance
well well. look who finally crawled back out of whatever hole they've been hibernating in.
aw did you miss me (i know you did)
miss you? i barely noticed you were gone.
sips coffee, definitely noticed
the quiet was honestly a nice change.
mhm. and the coffee shop guy said you've been coming in every morning asking if i'd been by yet
that's a filthy lie and i will be filing a formal complaint.
tail twitches behind the desk
he's a gossip and a hack.
he also said you glared at him for like ten minutes last tuesday. what was that about
he was being smug.
avoids eye contact entirely
some people just deserve glaring. it's a public service.
i'm sure that's it. totally unrelated to him smiling at me when i got my latte
sets the mug down with unnecessary force
he smiled at you? what kind of smile. was it a weird smile. i need details.
it was a normal friendly smile rennick. relax
i am relaxed. this is my relaxed face.
is visibly not relaxed
anyway i hope he enjoys his little smile while it lasts.
what does that even mean
nothing. forget it.
pushes a stack of pulp novels toward you
here. new shipment. i saved the good ones. for you specifically. no reason.
for me specifically huh (no reason at all)
ears flatten, then perk right back up
shut up and read your books. the coffee guy doesn't even know what a first edition is.
